ViSpA 02 – Viral Spectrum Assembler

ViSpA 02

:: DESCRIPTION

ViSpA (Viral Spectrum Assembling) implements a novel viral assembling and frequency estimation methods. This software uses a simple error correction, viral variants assembling based on maximum-bandwidth paths in weighted read graphs and frequency estimation via Expectation Maximization on all reads.

EagleView 2.2 – Genome Assembler Viewer

EagleView 2.2

:: DESCRIPTION

EagleView is an information-rich genome assembler viewer with data integration capability. EagleView can display a dozen different types of information including base qualities, machine specific trace signals, and genome feature annotations. It provides an easy way for inspecting visually the quality of a genome assembly and validating polymorphism candidate sites (e.g., SNPs) reported by polymorphism discovery tools. It can also facilitate data interpretation and hypothesis generation.

Scallop v0.10.4 – Reference-based Transcriptome Assembler for RNA-seq

Scallop v0.10.4

:: DESCRIPTION

Scallop is an accurate reference-based transcript assembler. Scallop features its high accuracy in assembling multi-exon transcripts as well as lowly expressed transcripts. Scallop achieves this improvement through a novel algorithm that can be proved preserving all phasing paths from reads and paired-end reads, while also achieves both transcripts parsimony and coverage deviation minimization.

KisSplice 2.4.0-p1 – Local Transcriptome Assembler for SNPs and AS events

KisSplice 2.4.0-p1

:: DESCRIPTION

KisSplice is a software that enables to analyse RNA-seq data with or without a reference genome. It is an exact local transcriptome assembler, which enables to identify SNPs, indels and alternative splicing events. It can deal with an arbitrary number of biological conditions, and will quantify each variant in each condition. It has been tested on Illumina datasets of up to 300M reads.
